<HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Title</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <IMG Align=Top SRC="bob.gif"><H3><a name="mini">Bob's Comics Reviews : July 1998</a></H3> <h4><img align=left src="greenball.gif"> Daniel Clowes : <b>Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron</b> <font color="#800080">Mini-review</font> </h4> If the keyword of Chris Ware is <i>pathos</i>, that of Clowes is <i>menace</i>. There's the strangely threatening banality; the over-the-top grotesquerie, the sudden touches of horror; the oddball conspiracy theories that turn out to only hint at the truth; the outright thuggery. He manages to sustain this mood for a whole book, largely by keeping it episodic, and ends on a bang. You might just want to get out your Charles Burns after this, just to cheer yourself up. <P> <A HREF="bob19.html#ghost">[Back to Ghost World]</A> <A HREF="bob.shtml">[Index o' Bob]</A> <A HREF="default.html">[Back to Metaverse]</A> </BODY> </HTML>
